Answer:
They had begun to question the cost of the Vietnam War.
Explanation:
By 1969, opposition to war had rose. American cities were the scenarios of mass rallies and marches for peace and a withdrawal from Vietnam. The public was worried about the high number of casualties and the economic costs of the war.
They did not see the purpose of fighting and were increasingly distrustful of the official version told by civilian and military officials, especially after the images of North Vietnam´s Tet Offensive of 1968 revealed chaos and uncertain perspectives of victory.
During war time most male citizens are employed (If the waring country uses conscription) which lowers the national unemployment rate. Factories for non essential items will start to switch into making products for war use which makes businesses boom and grows the national economy. Also employment rates rise again due to the factory workforce hiring women and men who cant fight in war to work in the factories. War-bonds fund the government aswell, because citizens buy them in a way to "loan" their government to support the war effort which raises their military budget. The development of new technologies can also lead to economical prosperity.
A great example of this is the United States during the Great Depression when unemployment rates were at a all time high. Once Japan declared war on the United States, unemployment rates were back to normal due to conscription being implemented for male citizens. The females also worked in the factories creating munitions and arms for the war effort.
Sparta was the city-state that gave women citizenship, the women of Athens had their own social class, it went citizens, women, free/ non citizens, and than slaves.
